is it possible to create an informative error message instead of application crash.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/zk/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pdftitle.py", line 701, in run
    title = get_title_from_file(args.pdf)

Can you share the pdf file causing this ?

Sorry, I couldn't anonymize the pdf. But can I ask you to provide an option to rise an error message instead of crash.

You can tell me the title etc. I might be able to find the pdf. The error indicates this is not supposed to happen, so I have to check why it happens first. The unexpected errors are reported like this for the moment.

One possible PDF that causes this error is https://www.ams.org/about-us/6.14_LivingProof.pdf .
